EXCLUSIVE LEAK: Sources close to the rapper claim Eminem, 52, has been quietly dating his longtime stylist Katrina Malota for months — after years of denying he’d ever love again. Insiders say their chemistry began “off-camera” during a late-night shoot in Detroit, when she adjusted his collar and he “didn’t look away.” Since then — private dinners, no entourage, no posts. One crew member says, “He smiles differently around her.” For someone who once wrote about love as a battlefield, this one feels dangerously real.

The exes are also the parents to a 32-year-old daughter, Alaina Marie, and a 23-year-old child, Stevie Laine.
The “Without Me” singer adopted Alaina from Scott’s sister, Dawn, in the early 2000s amid the latter’s struggle with drug abuse.
“I have full custody of my niece,” Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2004. “My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she’d live with us wherever we was at.”
In 2005, he also adopted Stevie after Scott welcomed him with her ex-boyfriend Eric Hartter in 2002 during their separation.
